Dead of Night
Ratings2
Average rating4.5
Guess what? I only went and did it again, started a series out of sequence. I only skipped one book though, so all is not lost. And as this one was so unbelievably good, it won't be long until I circle back to the first one in the series.
So, back to Dead of Night. This folks, is historical crime fiction at its very best, blending as it does, fact and fiction.
Berlin is the location. 1940 is the year. War rages on. It is winter. Food is rationed. Fuel for fires is scarce. Life is hard for some, harder still if you are Jewish.
It is against this backdrop that we meet Inspector Horst Schenke, who finds himself being warned off when he investigates the death of a doctor, a case that has already been written up as a suicide. A parallel investigation into the deaths of children at a clinic, lead to links to the deceased doctor, further warnings, and unsavoury discoveries. Does he heed the warnings, or does he keep digging? 🤐
Dead of Night is a fast paced, action packed, emotive thriller that will excite you and tug at your heartstrings in equal measure. I look forward to continuing this series.
